Definitely. But I think part of Bentley's beef at the time was that the English players didn't get a look in when it came to the first team. And, I suppose to a certain extent that still has a ring of truth about it.
I think you're right Atila. Bentley's ego was too big for the Arsenal and it does smack of sour grapes. But as Keef has rightly pointed out Theo Walcott is still only 18. We have a young lad at Spurs (Adel Taarabt) the same age who gets even less time on the pitch than Walcott who has been hailed as the new Zidane in France. He came on for the last 15 minutes last night and showed some flashes of what he can do. He is immensely skillful and a wonderful talent in the making but still has a lot to learn. Definitely one for the future. Very disasppointing result for the Spurs last night but I can't say I was surprised. This was a big step up in class in Europe for us although it didn't help our cause having a debutant in Gilberto who had an absolutele stinker in the first half and it was his cock-up which led to their goal. PSV are a very good side and let us not forget they knocked Arsenal out of the Champions League just a little while back. We have a long way to go and last night was a massive learning curve for our players.

I'd like to pay a small tribute to the Sheffield legend Derek Dooley. I can remember reading about him when I was a kid and his playing career was already long over. This was a young man who scored 63 goals in 63 appearances for Sheffield Wednesday before having his leg broken. Whilst recovering from the break gangrene set in and the leg was amputated. Can you imagine this happening today? Take for instance Eduardo a recent leg break victim and the same age as Dooley when his career was suddenly called to a halt and the same thing happening to him. This being back in the 50s when players earnt peanuts. Absolutely tragic. He went on to manage the Owls who sacked him on Christmas Eve '73 and he went on to work for the local rivals the Blades in a variety of roles until his retirement in 2006. He was awarded the MBE in 2003. He never complained about his lot but just simply got on with the job at hand. A man who united supporters of both the Blades and the Owls. They don't make 'em like that anymore. May his God bless him.
